 | SECOND ROUND LEADERBOARD -19 V Singh (Fij)
-18 J Kaye (US)
-17 E Els (SA)
-16 S Cink (US) |
Vijay Singh continues to lead the Mercedes Championships in Hawaii after carding a four-under-par 69 in the third round on Saturday. The Fijian world number one, who has led since the first round, has yet to drop a shot in the tournament.
Jonathan Kaye has cut Singh's lead to one shot after firing a seven-under 66 to lie 18 under overall.
Ernie Els is a shot further back after a 68 while Tiger Woods is five off the pace after a 69.
Woods would have been closer but two late bogeys halted his move up the field.
Singh teed off two shots clear of the field but was soon caught - and briefly passed - by a fast-starting Els.
But Singh soon found his touch with two birdies on the front nine to retake the lead. He added an eagle at the par-five 15th, where he rifled his second shot to within nine feet of the pin.
Singh finished second here last year, setting himself up for a brilliant season in which he dominated the PGA Tour, winning nine times.
Defending champion Stuart Appleby shot a 66 on Saturday and trails by four shots.
